COOKING

PUTING OUT A CAMPFIRE

Extinguish every fire when you no longer need it. Make sure it is cold out - cold enoughy so that you can run your hands through the ashes.
Pour water on embers. Stir the wet ashes with a stick and wet them again. Repeat until you can touch every part of the fire site with your bare hands.

CLEANING A FIRE SITE
Clean a permanent fire site by picking out any bits of paper, foil, and unburned food. Pack them home with the rest of your trash. If you made a new fire site, erase all evidence it was ever there. Scatter any rocks, turning their blackened sides toward the ground. Spread cold ashes over a wide area and toss away extra firewood. Replace any ground cover. When you're finished, the site should look just as it did when you found it.
